BIOGRAPHY

Prof dr Henk Hogeveen

Being raised on a dairy farm, Henk Hogeveen graduated as MSc from Wageningen Agricultural University in 1989. He wrote MSc theses on the field of Epidemiology (cystic ovarian disease) and Animal Health Economics (economics of herd health programs). From 1989 until 1994 he worked as associated researcher at the Department of Herd Health and Reproduction of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Utrecht University, where he received a PhD on the use of Artificial Intelligence to diagnose mastitis. After a short employment at the former Institute for Agricultural and Environmental Engineering in Wageningen, he started as a scientific researcher in the field of herd health and management at the Applied Cattle Research Institute in Lelystad (nowadays part of the Wageningen UR Livestock Research), followed by a position as cluster manager welfare, health and milk quality at that institute. Since 2001, Henk Hogeveen is working in academia, currently as personal professor at the chair group Business Economics of Wageningen University. His teaching activities are mainly directed at economics of animal health, food safety and veterinary business in BSc, MSc and PhD courses. His research activities are focused on the management of animal health. Within that field he has developed a special interest for the support of decisions on animal health (especially production diseases) and the use of technology there-in.

 

Henk Hogeveen is, amongst other memberships, member of the IDF Standing Committee Animal Health (chairman from 2008-2012) and of the Scientific Planning and Coordination Committee of that organization. He is one of the founders of the International Association for Precision Dairy Farming.
